Performance on GPU has always been about Drivers. Chip and Cheese is only here to show the uArch behind it. This isn't even new as we should have learned all about it during Voodoo 3Dfx era. And 9 years have passed since an ( now retired ) Intel Engineers said that they would be completing against Nvidia by 2020 if not 2021. We are now in 2025 and they are not even close. But somehow Raja Koduri was suppose to save them and now gone.
- rincebrain 2y agoIntel seems to have deep-seated issues with their PR department writing checks their engineers can't pay out on time for. Not that Intel engineers are bad - on the contrary. But as you pointed out, they've been promising they'd be further than they are now for over 5 years now, and even 10+ years ago when I was working in HPC systems, they kept promising things you should build your systems on that would be "in the next gen" that were not, in fact, there. It seems much like the Bioware Problem(tm) where Bioware got very comfortable promising the moon in 12 months and assuming 6 months of crunch would Magically produce a good outcome, and then discovered that Results May Vary.
